The opening paints a beautiful glimpse of a wondrous land and its downfall fitting for any fairy tale, while the next two chapters weaves the narrative into excellent characterizations for the main characters so that you quickly feel invested in their lives. I'm eager to read more and find out how Thom continues to cope with his revelation, and to find out if his brotherhood with Dedric can be saved. With Jeyna's terrific narrative I'm sure that the full book will be an inspiring read that I'm impatient for.
